My student was charged criminally. Why does the case go through the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical too?
The criminal justice system and the student conduct process are separate processes. Your student is responsible for upholding the Student Conduct Code as well as the law. A student may have to go through the student conduct process even if the criminal case is not completed or if the criminal charges are dropped. The student conduct process will proceed before, simultaneously with, or after any other judicial process.
